This is proof that Hanwha has changed. On the day of the 16-hit blast, why did the coach mention Noh Si-hwan's base running play?

The Hanwha Eagles held an important game on the 8th. The first game of the last three consecutive games of the first half against the KIA Tigers held at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon home. The first game was important at a time when Kia, a strong team, trailed the first Hanwha Eagles by up to four games from the bottom. If I caught this game, I was able to relieve some of the burden on my mind and face a break after playing the last three consecutive games. If the first game was caught, KIA would have been chased by one game if it was swept.
But the game ended unexpectedly blandly. Hanwha scored 13 points until the fifth inning. He hit 16 hits in a long run and won the game 14-8. 50 wins for the first time in 33 years. On Moon Hyun-bin's three hits, Liberato, Noh Si-hwan, Kim Tae-yeon, Choi Jae-hoon, and Shim Woo-joon played evenly with multi-hitters. No one can compliment, and the coaching staff can only rejoice on a day when everyone did well.
However, veteran coach Kim Kyung-moon, who has gone through all the hardships, found approval at a different point. Coach Kim said after the game, "Roh Si-hwan and Lee Won-seok's base running play was really good. Those plays change the course of the game."

Lee Won-seok took the leadoff and walked in the first inning to get on base. Chance for first and second base with no outs made by opponent Park Chan-ho's error. Lee Won-seok's sense was overflowing. Moon Hyun-bin pulled his bat back while buntting. KIA third baseman Wisdom headed toward the batter in preparation for a bunt. Lee Won-seok saw the gap when the third base was empty. He jumped quickly to third base. Wisdom hurriedly returned to third base and tried to tag, but it was safe. The first and second bases with no outs and the first and third bases are completely different. He more than doubled the probability of striking a balance when he gave up the first run in the top of the first inning. Former NC Dinos manager Lee Dong-wook, who broadcasted the game on this day, said "This is evidence that Hanwha baseball has changed." Before that, I was a team that unconditionally hit and advanced, but now I play baseball that penetrates the opponent's gap."
Coach Kim said, `The players did a good job in the role they were given to them. And the two base coaches, Kim Jae-gul and Choo Seung-woo, also work really hard to get one more base. These things come together to make Hanwha baseball stronger," he praised.
